Hello all
Help needed for Italian "Gilda".
Built 1899 as "Westfalia" for Rhein & See Schiffahrts Ges.,Köln. Sold 1907 to Norwegian owners Holdt & Isachsen, Stavanger, renamed "Donator".From 1913 French "Sous". Renamed "Pace" in 1934. Italian from 1937. Sold 1940 to Rina Peretti,Genova, and renamed "Gilda".
According to my notes, taken over by German authorities 08 September 1943.
18 January 1944 sunk of Vada, Tuscan coast,cause unknown.
Anybody who have some details about the ship when Italian/German and details about her loss?
Best regards
